GB = College of Cardinals and pope?
by hamilcarr inheard and seen on youtube:.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlgppzmz0ne.
this [gb] is a group of individuals that have come from all over the world and whom we believe are directed by god to help us understand what is contained in scripture, just as other religions would have their religious leaders, those to whom they look so do jw, but the fact that we believe that there is a gb, a f&ds class that we call it whos helping us understand the bible no more makes us a sect than it would make catholics a sect because they believe that the pope and the college of cardinals have the ultimate truth for catholics - philip brumley, jw general counsel.

Morality Predates Religion
by hamilcarr inis the often heard statement 'no religion no morality' in harmony with scientific evidence .... or not?.
if it could be proven that morality exists outside the human species, the conclusion would be that religion doesn't cause morality but only regulate it.. .
without god, we will live like animals!.

For they do not know what they're doing
by hamilcarr in10 guidelines for a truly conservative bible:.
framework against liberal bias: providing a strong framework that enables a thought-for-thought translation without corruption by liberal bias not emasculated: avoiding unisex, "gender inclusive" language, and other modern emasculation of christianity not dumbed down: not dumbing down the reading level, or diluting the intellectual force and logic of christianity; the niv is written at only the 7th grade level[3]utilize powerful conservative terms: using powerful new conservative terms as they develop;[4] defective translations use the word "comrade" three times as often as "volunteer"; similarly, updating words which have a change in meaning, such as "word", "peace", and "miracle".
combat harmful addiction: combating addiction by using modern terms for it, such as "gamble" rather than "cast lots";[5] using modern political terms, such as "register" rather than "enroll" for the census accept the logic of hell: applying logic with its full force and effect, as in not denying or downplaying the very real existence of hell or the devil.
